Volume 1 Zhangqiao Iron Coffin Chapter 39: Ultimate Loss of Control (Part 1)
"Hehe...hehe..." Cai Kun laughed, and it was that gloomy and chilling smile again.
"Sir Cai, look, this..." Governor Li Yan asked, holding the letter, "Does it still need to be processed?"
"Haha, haha..." Cai Kun smiled without saying anything, but his eyes looked Xu Zun up and down.
Depend on!
Xu Zun saw that all three of them were looking at him, and Cai Kun's smile was so sinister, it must be not a good thing, and it was directed at him!
Could it be... that the incident of causing trouble in Huaxiang Tower was exposed?
Bah, bah, bah, what do you mean exposed? It's already known to everyone, right?
"Master Cai," the Imperial Censor Chen Taiji said to Cai Kun at this time, "this is a small matter and has nothing to do with the case. Shouldn't we deal with it?"
"You... um..." Cai Kun thought for a moment and asked Chen Taiji and Li Yan, "Didn't you two say before that he is Shen Tiande's son-in-law?"
I...K...
Hearing this, Xu Zun instantly fell to the bottom. Who else could be Shen Tiande's son-in-law?
"Yes," Li Yan, the governor, replied, "but just now it seemed that you said that the marriage has not been completed, right?"
After saying this, Li Yan realized that he had said nonsense and quickly covered his mouth.
"Right?" Cai Kun smiled, "Isn't that even more interesting? And... did you see that..." He pointed at Xu Zun and said sinisterly , "Isn't this person's reaction a little abnormal?
"Isn't that right? You see he's not afraid, he doesn't make excuses, and he doesn't resist. Does that mean he's fearless?"
emmm……
These people's strange words made Xu Zun even more confused. What happened? What was written in the letter?
"big……"
Chen Taiji seemed to want to say something, but thinking of the previous threat, he swallowed his words back.
However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Zun was filled with pity and disappointment.
"Xu Zun! Xu Changlin's son!" Cai Kun snatched the letter from Li Yan and walked straight to Xu Zun. Lang Lang said, "Now someone has revealed that you committed adultery with a merchant's wife. After being discovered, you framed the merchant and put him in jail, and then killed him in prison! I want to ask you, is this true?"
Buzz...
Hearing this, Xu Zun's head suddenly buzzed and he felt dizzy.
"Yo yo yo?" Cai Kunxie said with a smile, "Look at his reaction. What does it mean? Does he think this is a very normal thing?"
"Your Excellency," Xu Zun had no choice but to say , "This is a pure false accusation!"
"Good!" Cai Kun clapped his hands and said, "As expected of Mr. Xu's son, you have guts!"
"Sir," Qiu Yongnian said from the side, "I know about this matter. The truth is exactly the opposite of what has been revealed. It was the merchant who framed County Magistrate Xu and then committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment!"
"Oh..." Cai Kun looked at Qiu Yongnian and said with a playful look, "It seems that you have a good relationship! But, County Magistrate Qiu, let me ask you, did you see that merchant commit suicide with your own eyes?"
"this……"
With just one sentence, Qiu Yongnian was stunned!
Qiu Yongnian looked at Xu Zun in surprise, with suspicion in his eyes.
Because, if You Dalang was killed by Xu Zun, it seems more reasonable. Xu Zun is in charge of the prison and has more sufficient conditions!
"So, as a scholar, you need to understand people's hearts more!" Cai Kun said to Qiu Yongnian, "Some people are not as simple as they seem!"
No way?
Xu Zun cursed his mother in his heart. In just a short while, he turned into a murderer again! ?
"Everyone," Cai Kun continued his performance, and turned to everyone and asked charmingly, "Am I really the only one who found that this letter came a little strange?"
oh?
His words caused the officials to think.
"It says here that Xu Zun killed the merchant on the 18th of this month, but just one day , the Iron Coffin Case happened! And..." Cai Kunyan said, "The Iron Coffin Case must have happened in the early morning or at night, so the two cases were not far apart in time!
"You really don't think there is any connection here?"
"Hmm... Your Excellency is wise!" Governor Li Yan flattered, "It seems that this letter really came at the right time! We must check it carefully!"
“Hahahaha,” Cai Kun laughed. “It doesn’t matter. It’s easy to find out whether this letter is true or not! The letter also reported that our County Magistrate Xu not only killed the merchant, but also maliciously embezzled the merchant’s huge amount of property!!!”
…
Bang!
Half an hour later, the gate of Xu Zun's house was maliciously knocked open, and the guards broke into the house with weapons in hand!
After breaking in, they immediately rushed to every corner of the house and took control of the entire house.
Afterwards, Cai Kun, who had changed into white official uniform, entered the compound with many officials in high spirits.
Behind them, there were special internal guards escorting Qiu Yongnian, Luo Baiwan and Xu Zun.
Perhaps something had been explained in the letter, for after Cai Kun entered the house, he went straight to Xu Zun's bedroom.
At this moment, Xu Zun felt more and more uneasy . One reason was that Cai Kun's purpose was so strong, which showed that the letter was definitely not made out of nothing!
The other question is, why didn’t I see Xiaoqi?
"Bookcases!" After entering the bedroom, Cai Kun said to his men, "Open every bookcase and check!"
At the command, several guards immediately rushed forward and opened Xu Zun's bookcase one by one.
As a result, as soon as I opened the first one, I found several exquisite large packages!
The guard lifted one of them out; it was surprisingly heavy and made a tinkling sound when it fell to the ground.
After opening it, a bundle full of silver appeared before everyone!
When he opened the next few items, he found expensive Song Dynasty brocade and silk, as well as Tiancan treasure clothes, etc. Each piece and each item was worth a fortune.
What’s more, on most of the silks, there is an eye-catching Chinese character “You” embroidered on them, which is the logo of You’s Silk Shop!
After seeing these things, all the officials looked at Xu Zun.
Xu Zunyi was in a daze, completely dumbfounded!
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, catch the leader; to catch a man, catch the dirty stuff. Now that Xu Zun has been caught red-handed, he can’t clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
I never thought that You Dalang's missing savings was actually in my own home! ?
For a moment, Xu Zun even doubted himself.
"Oh? Interesting, really interesting!" Cai Kun laughed, "There really is something in stock? It seems that what the informer said is true!
"I really don't understand. You are going to be Shen Tiande's son-in-law, why would you be interested in such a small amount of money? You haven't even gotten married yet, but you still dare to commit adultery with someone else's wife. How should I describe someone like you?"
"Scumbag?"
Xu Zun couldn't help it and blurted it out.
"Scumbag?" Cai Kun was slightly startled, and thought about it carefully, "Scumbag man? Men are like scum? This word... Tsk tsk, it has a wide impact!"
"Sir," said Li Yan, the governor, at this time, "since Xu Zun's crime of killing merchants and usurping their property has been proven, why not let me handle it? Don't waste your time!"
"Okay," Cai Kun nodded, "Originally, the mail was sent and received for you! I just did something to help the people get rid of harm."
After hearing what Cai Kun said, the guards were ready to withdraw.
However, Cai Kun suddenly thought of something and raised his hand and said, "Wait! That's not right!"
"Ah?" Li Yan was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cai Kun looked at Xu Zun's room and ordered his guards, "Search! Search the entire house! Be careful!"
"yes!"
At the command, the guards launched a comprehensive search.
The guards were all rough men. They said they were searching, but in fact they were just demolishing the house. Without saying a word, they smashed Xu Zun's furniture violently!
Books were destroyed, porcelain was broken, and in the blink of an eye, everything was in ruins...
Chen Taiji and others couldn't bear to watch, but no one dared to speak out.
Bang!
puff……
When a guard removed the door of a wardrobe, he kicked inside. Unexpectedly, the wall of the wardrobe broke, and his entire thigh was stuck inside!
"Sir!" he shouted hurriedly, "Come and see, the back of this cabinet is empty..."
